We are excited to be able to offer it again\, and thankful to Great Outdoor Provision Co. and LEKI for worki ng with us to borrow poles for you to test! This has become a popular hike so make sure to save your spot now!
\nUsing trekking poles can enha nce your stability\, provide support on all types of terrain and water cro ssings\, and can strengthen your core and upper body. During this hike you ’ll join TLC Trail Guide\, Nancy\, to learn how and when to set the length of your poles\, the most efficient way to grip your poles\, and how to de cide what features you want in your hiking poles. This training hike will be helpful whether you are new to hiking poles or a regular.
\nThis will be a moderate 2-3 mile hike over variable terrain\, stopping periodic ally for educational moments. Another big thank you to Great Outdoor Provision Company and LEKI for letting us borrow poles for you to try\, but if you hav e a pair already\, please bring them! This is a free event\, but preregistrati on is required.
